Laboratory Integration

Each drug candidate selected by Verseon's drug discovery platform is synthesized and
subjected to a battery of biological tests including in vitro,
functional, and in vivo assays. Drug candidates that fail to
meet test criteria can be sent back to Verseon scientists for optimization. The molecule creation and modeling engines can then be
used to explore fine scale chemical structure modifications that could better satisfy the panel of biological tests. The new chemical variants are then sent out for synthesis and tested in the laboratory anew.

Advancing each drug program is easier with multiple lead candidates with multiple chemotypes. If certain candidates representing a particular chemotype are deemed unsuitable for further development, they are eliminated, and work continues on the remaining compounds, saving time and resources. Multiple novel, potent, selective candidates spanning different chemotypes is an advantage not typically enjoyed in a traditional drug discovery program.
